Having located this great place recently, I keep on going back to try different items. It's never a…read moredisappointment. I had their chili about a week ago - It was deliciously meaty, and included an assortment of beans and chick peas in a sauce brimming with wonderful flavours! Today I treated myself to their beef barley soup and found it to be rich and satisfying. For dessert I had a slice of excellent carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting. So yummy! Sweet enough, but not cloying. And it's carrot cake - carrots are veggies! I felt quite virtuous while I scarfed it down.

It has simple menu , 2 breakfast set to choose, lunch with different sandwiches. I chose apple bacon and it is delicious. The scone is flaky and texture is between scone and pastry.

We had to reheat the sausage roll at home as they did not offer to do it in store, which was fine since we weren't planning on eating it right away.

They were willing to switch the bread out on the sandwich for a focaccia, which came with no additional cost.

The space is large and well decorated; they even have a shelf with ten different toasters on it as decor! I've been here before and I would definitely come back again. The sandwiches are always fantastic.

They don't treat you as if you matter less or try to stick you at a bar. The restaurant was busy but I was seated right away. There is a bakery attached, but I didn't go over since I'm gluten-free and hate looking if I don't know in advance they have goodies I can eat. I always vet my restaurants in advance with the dietary restriction and there were excellent options for those GF. I ordered the Peach, Pineapple and Coconut mimosa. I HATE peach, but she was able to make it with just the other two. They put coconut cream around the side of the glass. EXCELLENT mimosa. One of the best I ever had. I also ordered the Pork & Tomatillo Tostada. This came on these crispy corn tortillas. I'm a huge texture person...that was amazing. The pork was delicious. There were also scrambled eggs, this delicious sauce, cheese, herbs and tomatoes. Absolute yum. I would eat this every day of the week! There were also potatoes on the side, which were very tasty. Service was perfect. Brenda was my server. She made sure I had everything I needed. She did forget I was GF and brought me a cookie from the bakery. It wasn't GF, but the gesture was nice. They also had a colourful sign over the front window advertising local vendors, which was that nice, small town touch. Very cute place, convenient location. Good service and delicious food. I will definitely return when I visit Kingston again.
